Deep Throat: Okay, I'll bite.

The Haggis generally hates to cover anything that is already being covered in the general bandwagon media. But in this case, simply because it is so huge, I'll bite.

Wow.

Mark Felt = Deep Throat.

Whodathunkit?!

And already Karl "Sauron" Rove's orcs and wraiths are out in force to discredit the 90-something year old man.

Pat Buchanan just called Felt "a snitch." Reeeaaaallllyy?

But Linda Tripp wasn't? Monica Lewinsky wasn't? George Stephanopoulous' opportunistic book wasn't?

What is the definition of a Snitch, Patrick? Someone who catches YOUR side doing something wrong and then blabs about it? Gimme a break, Pat. The very fact that you are debating the Watergate scandal on the side of Dick Nixon demonstrates clearly the political relic that you are. NO ONE argues for Dick Nixon on this one, Pat. Enough time has passed that we can all say, "Gee, Mr. President, that was wrong."

At the very least, can't we all agree that perhaps if Mr. Nixon had engaged in some "dirty tricks" with a 70's-era Monica Lewinsky rather than with Liddy, Haldemann, et.al, we'd all be better off, not the least of which because Deep Throat would still mean only two things: a) an old movie shown in sketchy theaters, and b) something not to be attempted on the first date.
